Who are those sermons for? You know, the ones that someone (possibly you) dutifully posts to your church website each week.
We’ve just refreshed our church website and as part of that process I determined to sit down and think why we were actually posting our sermons online.
Here’s my (perhaps surprising) conclusion: the only reason we post our sermons online is for members of the church who want them. Perhaps they were absent one week? Or sick? Or teaching in Sunday School? Or just wanted to rehear what they listened to live? It could be one of a number of reasons, but in each case, we’re posting them for (in our case) members of Christchurch Harborough, not for you.
What’s your church like? I mean, really like?
I don’t mean, where it is or what kind of building and programmes you have. Or even why you exist …
